Connecting C# application to online MS Access database
-
Hello, I have an application made in visual C# which is largely dependant on communicating with an online MS Access database (hosted on jabry.com). It will have several users who are going to update the information on the database, so having it locally is not an option. I have tested it locally, and it works without any problems. I have no idea how to write the connection string for when it is ONLINE though. I've tried a lot of stuff... but nothing is working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Define "online"? If you're talking about user who have to get to the Access database over the Internet, then you've picked the wrong database engine entirely.

I use sql server :doh: but i think it works quite the same "It will have several users who are going to update the information on the database" remember to manage threads in your applications if you didn´t do that yet "I have no idea how to write the connection string" download microsoft absolute beginners lesson videos (it´s free), there you will find out how to connect to a databade from a asp site

Does the server allow remote connections? I seriously doubt it - databases that are provided by an online webhost are usually not available for connection from your local machine. Same goes for MySQL en SQL Server. They're usually not open to "the internet", and as such, you cannot use such a database as a shared repository. You can use them in a webapplication, once it is installed there (local!)
